Nationally syndicated radio host, newspaper columnist and bestselling author Jeremy Bradley heads into podcasting with this weekly download featuring celebrity guests, funny stories and entertaining chatter. The name of the program comes from the idea that sometimes the creative process includes scribbling down random ideas before you can make sense of anything. That's exactly what JB is doing every week on The Scribble.

    Is parenting all it's cracked up to be? - Episode 550 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

    Back-to-school time is here! (Exclamation point or womp-womp? Depends on who you are, probably.) Jeremy Bradley talks about how he loved going back to school as a kid. Naturally, not all kids feel that way. Of course, for parents, it means they get rid of their little nose-pickers and make them someone else's problem for much of the day. But, if that's the feeling, it seems like parents can't stand being around their offspring. You've seen the TV commercial to the tune of "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" where the parent gleefully rides the shopping cart as the kids head back to class. It's never made sense to JB. If parenting is so wonderful, why are you so happy to get rid of your kids and pawn them off on someone else?

    The laughable 'taking a break from social media' announcement - Episode 549 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

    Jeremy Bradley has made no secret he couldn't care less about social media. For years, JB says he has no interest in posting constant updates about his life. Having been in newspapers and on the radio for 20 years, he recounts how he's always had a platform to tell people what's happening. Social media, however, is of no interest. JB gets a kick out of people who feel they owe it to their audience to share everything. Everything. And when life is too overwhelming, JB laughs at those who make the big announcement about "taking a break." He scoffs that they'll be able to kick their addiction cold turkey. True, they might not be posting on their page during that time, but JB suspects they're still scrolling and watching from the sidelines.

    Lying to customers is a baaaaaaad move - Episode 548 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

    Jeremy Bradley is on another rant about "customer experience" nightmares. Is it just a coincidence that many companies have dropped the term "customer service" because "service" is a thing of the past? JB recaps his recent experiences dealing with businesses and compares it to his time working in retail 20 years ago. Back then, employees would "own" the interaction with a customer -- meaning, commit to finding the answer or providing a solution before the transaction was complete. Now, it seems like employees don't take ownership of situations and either pass off the customer to someone else or simply turn them away. JB shares a story about how he busted a phone rep lying and the hell that was unleashed.

    A low-key birthday is best - Episode 547 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

    Another year older, another low-key celebration. Jeremy Bradley talks about how he celebrated his 43rd birthday last week. Were there fancy, expensive gifts from his husband? A big party with over-the-top decorations? How about a decent cake? No, no and no -- and that's just how JB likes it. He explains why. Later, JB talks about the odd celebrity endorsements and businesses we see. It makes you wonder if celebs really care about their business ventures or if it's just for the money. Case in point: Smartless Mobile. Do any of the Smartless podcast hosts really care about cellphone plans? Had they ever talked about that before launching their company? Somehow they're in the wireless business. Is it working for them or do consumers not get it and stay away?

    Another birthday. And? - Episode 546 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

    "Another lap around the sun!" "It's my birthday!" "I'm another year older. Here's my Venmo, send me money!" You've seen all of these on social media... and Jeremy Bradley can't stand them! Today is his 43rd birthday and he laughs at people who desperately seek attention on their lap-around-the-sun day. The big birthday question is always: do you feel your age? JB explains why he feels much younger. Get ready to take some notes!

    When you have 'just one of those days' - Episode 544 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

    You've been awake for barely 10 minutes but already you think the day is jinxed (or cursed?). Jeremy Bradley talks about a ridiculous day that only got worse. Just when he felt he couldn't get in a worse mood -- it happened. Now, he can laugh about it and it's something most people can relate to. It was one of those days where you say to yourself, "I think I'm just gonna go back to bed and sleep until tomorrow."

    Going back in time and living in that moment - Episode 543 - The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley

    Last week, Jeremy Bradley shared that it's been 25 years since his high school graduation. After taping that show, JB had the idea to locate the home movies from his final year of school. (He was the only kid with his own camcorder at that age.) JB found the camera and appropriate cables to connect the 30-year-old technology to a modern TV. He and his husband, relived JB's graduation. They watched the video, danced to the same music after -- even had nearly the same meal (delivered!). Keep in mind that JB is from Canada and his husband is from Brazil. Graduations were -- and perhaps are -- incredibly different in those two worlds! Later, while digging through the videotapes, JB found the endless hours of silly videos from his teen years -- and reconnected with the group of friends almost 30 years later!
